Critical flicker frequency and centrally-acting drugs.
THE critical flicker frequency (cff) may be defined as the fastest rate at which a flickering source of light appears to be flickering as opposed to being steady. It has a number of determinants including the luminance, wave-length, wave-form, and light-dark ratio of the stimulating light, the area, position, and light-adapted state of the retina illuminated, the duration of exposure, and the s...
متن کاملRespiratory Muscle Paralysis Associated With Colistin, Polymyxin B, and Muscle Relaxants Drugs
Polymyxins B and E (colistin) exert a bactericidal effect on the gram-negative bacterial cell wall, causing permeability changes in the cytoplasmic membrane, leading to cell death. Their use was substantially decreased in clinical practice from the 1970s to 2000s due to their significant nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity compared to the newly introduced antibiotics. The increasing prevalence of ...
متن کاملNew centrally acting antihypertensive drugs related to methyldopa and clonidine.
It has been well established that the antihypertensive drugs clonidine and methyldopa lower blood pressure by acting on postsynaptic alpha 2-adrenergic receptors within cardiovascular control centers of the brain. A number of novel agents designed as lipophilic and highly selective alpha 2-adrenergic stimulants have been synthesized and in general the pharmacological features of these agents re...
متن کاملHemodynamic and cardiac effects of centrally acting antihypertensive drugs.
The centrally acting alpha-adrenergic receptor agonist compounds have been available for treatment of hypertension for more than 25 years. Through studies of these compounds during this time, new knowledge has been made available not only on their mechanisms of antihypertensive action but also on the role of the adrenergic nervous system in essential hypertension. This discussion primarily revi...
متن کاملPharmacodynamic interactions of cypermethrin and centrally acting drugs in mice.
Cypermethrin a widely used insecticide of Pyrethroids (type II) group, was administered in mice at two dose levels (1/10 of LD50 i.e. 2.5 mg/kg and 1/5 of LD50 i.e. 5.0 mg/kg) and pharmacodynamic interactions of insecticide were studied with centrally acting drugs viz. pentobarbital sodium, amphetamine, pentylenetetrazole, acepromazine and analgin. Cypermethrin pretreatment potentiated the acti...
